72 Dodge Coronet wagon

[C Body Bob]

Okay a bit of an update, did some priming today since yesterday was overcast drizzly and very humid. Note the fabricated and welded in center armrest brackets. Also finished some panel work to the rear passenger door. Also cleaned out and zinc coated the inside of the tailgate. More tomorrow, stay tuned.

Ok I picked the wagon up today from Wollfen's shop. It looks good. Gary did a GREAT job. I'm busy finishing up a few things on the D440 to get it road ready & real close on FURYIOUS to having it track ready. So the wagon will have to take a back seat for a few months. Then I'll get back on it hopefully in September.

I placed the 73 C body Fury roof rack on the Coronet & it's too wide. However it looks like I can cut the cross bars down & it should fit. I like it. Breaks up that LONG plain roof.

I don't blame you. I try to use stuff I have on hand too. I spend about as much time looking for it as I do installing it though

lol , lol , lol , me too . i can see it in my head , it's just putting my hands on it . but in looking for hanger brackets parts , i found the spark plug wire separators for my 8.5 mm wires , lol lol lol !

 

[C Body Bob]

I looked for some of those today & ended up zip tieing the wires until I discover where I put them

high voltage coil 42k , must separate to keep the cross arcing away . stock coils put out about 20k to 30k volts . the engine trans combo are from a really nice all original 70 nyr , with a smash in rear door i parted out .
